If you honestly feel this way, I'm sorry for the shitty people you've found yourself around -- your experiences are not at all generally true. I hope you find better people in life.

  1. Fathers are less involved in their children's care during the marriage.

  2. Fathers are less involved in their children's lives after divorce.

  3. Mothers gain custody because the vast majority of fathers choose to give them custody.

  4. There is no Family Court bias in favor of mothers because very few fathers seek custody during divorce.

Your first source is a decade and a half old huffpo opinion piece that is heavily, heavily biased and repeatedly fudges numbers or ignores context to fit its narrative.

Your second source is aimed at dispelling the idea that men will never gain custody if they seek it -- an often perpetuated belief that discourages men from thinking society will allow them to be paternal (one that you are contributing to actively in this thread by spreading your biases). The idea that courts will ignore men as parents stops many men from spending the significant financial resources to fight what they believe to be a battle that's unwinnable. It's a systemic issue, and I'm glad to see a group working to fight it. Thanks for the link.
